    Never been banned. I do have a couple of warnings, but those are from a couple years ago. If I could go back and do it again...

    Warning 1: I'd avoid it.

    Warning 2: I totally would. That warning was a small price to pay for saying what I did to who I said it to.

    I got a warning point here once. I'm not proud of it.

    I did get banned from one blog though, for disagreeing with the guy who runs it, who demands nobody but his army of sycophants posts.

    That I'm proud of; I was polite, argued well, and the only way the horde of commentators could deal with it was flaming me until I got banned by the guy who runs the blog:

    To the despicable morons who are doing that in this thread, I've corrected my post to say "before the 1970s," so you can take your idiotic legalisms, fold them into sharp corners, and cram them into your nether orifices.

    I only had one actual warning point-though I have been repeatedly scolded-mostly on account of my exceptionally twisted sense of humor (which does go too far, and involves some expletive phrases ).

    and that one was last year...and it has expired...and I'm not going to post another Ark joke picture again. ever.

    however, it has ruined my chances, I suspect, of ever becoming a senior member


    outside this little forum: well, I have yet to be banned from anything; I'm not so silly as to cannonball a wading pool full of little kids...

    or wrestle a goat for being supposedly hypnotized...

    How is it discrimination? It isn't permitted even if it was to a male, though there is some bias when moderating, since females receive a lot of unwanted attention and this rarely happens towards males, since both females and homosexuality are a minority on the internet.

    Just because it happens towards females more often, it doesn't mean it is discrimination, or was you jealous that Fragony wasn't posting about you and him spending nights together, which resulted in a blockage.

    I've seen moderators go insane on other forums. It ain't pretty. If anything, I find that the Org mods do an unusually good job of policing one another, and letting each other know when we think someone's made a bad or questionable call. It helps that we're all clear on the concept: The Org belongs to the Orgahs.

    Definitely , had a recent experience of that myself. A mod politely asked me to change something, instead of slapping tons of warning points on, like mods on other forums do.

    I did get a couple of warnings when back in the old days. Last one was in 2008. Minor ones.

    I got banned from a well known Linux community forum earlier this year, for calling the mods there "heavy handed" and disagreeing over an issue of double standards. One member requests a complete username change and gets it straight off with no questions asked - another new member requests a correction to a spelling mistake in his username (a matter of swapping two letters) and gets read the rulebook and told to make another account. I spoke up on the member's behalf. I was actually "stealth banned" - no change of user status, no "you are banned" email, no messages, nothing. Logged in one day and was greeted with a "no permission" message. I despise such corruption. Only time I can remember being banned from anywhere.

    In that same era I also got a lifetime ban from a local petting zoo for wrestling a goat, but I feel I was not wrong in the instance; the goat WAS trying to hypnotize me! Have you ever looked into a goat's eyes? They have snake eyes... Just a warning, incase you're ever in a similar situation: goats are also amazingly heavy for their size; when I tried to pick it up I couldn't even get it off the ground.

    I always found it interesting that in both of those completely separate instances the people who handed down the bans said the exact same thing "you're old enough to know better..."

    Never been banned from a site. Warned here once, by Hosa, anticipated, deserved and accepted. Was asked to apologize to a patron who took exception to a scathing retort after insulting me in the Back Room years ago, by Ser. I could not sincerely do so, and so declined. I wasn't warned, but I suspect there were long-term "hidden" consequences, which is fine with me (banned from Senior Membership etc.).

    The Org seems more than fair in regard to warnings and bans when I consider other sites I patronize. No complaints here.

    I've been warned a countless number of times. Mostly for personal insults. I regert nothing as everyone I have ever insulted was wrong at the time or perpetually stupid and ignorant.
    There, but for the grace of God, goes John Bradford

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

    How the hell do you remember all that, man? Ah well, no matter. At least you're half; he's a frikkin' alien, man. Probably gets treated badly over there, too, because he's a visible minority, right? Hahaha, you win, bro, you win. Find solace and comfort in that fact.
